1990 TB seals, any vendor offering them?

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Hello all. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a current vendor that offers 1990 TB seals as mine are needing replaced. Any help is appreciated. All the places I checked did not have 1990 seals, just 91 and up. Thanks all.

So Victor was kind enough to post an article and I found 1990 seals (or the correct part number, I will update as soon as they come in) for our throttle bodys after numerous calls to various vendors. This is what I found: Kaman Industrial Tech, 416 S Utica, Tulsa OK 74104, phone 918-610-7788. I talked with Justin. The seals in the article that was given to me said for a 1990, you need a Chicago Rawhide number 3930 and 3030. I ordered spares fyi. The cost was $5.07/each for the 3030 (8mmx12mmx3mm) and $4.74/each for the 3930 (10mmx14mmx3mm). I am having them drop shipped so I don't know what shipping is but it can't be too much. I will post that after I get them also. See the pictures but they are just representations of the actual seals. I thought that too much info was better than not enough. Hope these work and I will post my findings after they arrive. Also reference the last link that Victor gave me for this information. There are numerous vendor locations so there is probably one closer to anyone else, and you can check here, just put in your closest city:

I hope this is good information for all 1990 owners and again, THANK YOU VICTOR!!!

So I recieved the shaft seals for 90 model TB's and here are pictures of them. Will post more when I get the TB off and check for fitment.

Sweet marty im glad you got them, no problem anytime.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Yeah they even drop shipped them to me....for free i found out.

Glad you found them, but I did do a tech article on this exact subject a few years ago.

Chicago rawhide now leads to SKF. From there you can find a local distributor who can order in the seals for you.

Yeah, I didn't want to mention it, but several vendors have been selling these exact seals (and making the distinction of the 90/91-99 differences) for several years now. So you don't really need to test them out, they're already known to work. That being said, there's no reason you can't do some kind of writeup anyway.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Thanks for the additional input. I was having a hard time when searching for them so I just found them, and posted a link for anyone to type in there location for their local distributor if they were in need also.

 

[92AWDHX40]

I saw stm has labled the same part for 91 if im correct.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Yes one seal is the same size but the other seal is smaller to clarifiy. Funny how '90's are weird on everything.
